Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
About the role
We're building a Forward Deployed Engineering team to close the gap between the value our enterprise customers expect from Cursor and the value they're actually getting. FDEs don't advise, they embed directly with customer engineering teams, build production-grade Cursor workflows, and transfer the habits and culture that compound long after the engagement ends. The measure of success is what's different at day 30, not what got shipped.
We're looking for a RVP, Forward Deployed Engineering to lead and help scale this team. You'll manage a growing team of FDEs working across our most strategic enterprise accounts, own what makes a world-class FDE engagement, and stay close enough to the work to escalate, coach, and course-correct in real time. You will serve as the primary point of contact for customers, owning both project delivery and the day-to-day relationship, while also identifying and scoping new opportunities. You'll also build our partner FDE track — training and enabling GSI and consulting partners who extend this motion at scale.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who combines deep technical credibility, strong people management, and the judgment to keep engagements scoped tight, delivered fast, and worth repeating.
What you'll do
Sell
Own the full arc from technical discovery to executive close — partnering with Sales and Account teams to qualify opportunities, leading architecture reviews, surfacing integration complexity and infrastructure constraints, and scoping engagements with enough precision to de-risk delivery before a line of code is written
Build and present proposals that translate ambiguous customer problems into concrete, time-boxed deliverables with clear ROI
Sell the vision and the plan to C-suite stakeholders who need to believe in both the outcome and the team delivering it
Drive deal strategy on strategic accounts; your technical credibility is a direct lever on close rates for six- and seven-figure engagements
Deliver
Serve as executive technical sponsor on your region's highest-priority engagements and manage stakeholder relationships from IC engineers to C-suite
Ensure delivery quality across your team's projects: appropriate scoping, milestone tracking, technical standards, and clean handoffs to customer engineering teamsTranslate between business outcomes and technical implementation in both directions
Identify and escalate product gaps, integration friction, and recurring customer pain back to Product and Engineering with enough specificity to drive roadmap decisions
Manage active engagements: escalate on complex builds, coach FDEs on scoping and delivery decisions, and step in directly on accounts where the stakes are highest
Build reusable playbooks that make the broader FDE org more capable over time
Manage People
Lead, develop, and scale a team of 6–8 Forward Deployed Engineers working strategic FDE projects
Hire top-tier FDE talent; set clear expectations, technical performance standards, and career growth paths for a team where "excellent" means actually shipping in production
Coach FDEs through the hardest problems in the field — scoping under deal pressure, building alongside senior technical stakeholders, and knowing when to protect scope vs. when to flex
Build and scale the partner FDE track — train, enable, and hold the quality bar for GSI and consulting partners who carry the FDE motion forward at volume
You may be a fit if
You have 8+ years of experience leading technical teams that build and ship in production — Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or a similar function where writing and reviewing code is part of the job
You have experience with software development and coding in Python, Javascript/Typescript
You’ve built and owned AI-native workflows in production, not just prototypes, and have debugged real-world model failures
You can diagnose a complex enterprise engineering environment quickly, identify the highest-leverage intervention, and scope a meaningful engagement
You've built and scaled IC-level technical teams and know what excellence looks like in the field: sharp scoping, clean delivery, and knowledge that stays at the customer long after the engagement closes

We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
We're hiring Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic enterprise customers across Life Sciences. You'll be the technical face of Cursor for the scientific organizations shortening the path from lab to market: helping programmers, researchers, scientists, and commercial teams evaluate Cursor, running proofs of concept, and making sure they see the full value of agentic coding in their real workflows.
You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product, and Engineering as a deal partner, not a demo resource. You'll scope solutions, demonstrate capabilities, and act as a trusted advisor across the stakeholders that matter in Life Sciences: engineering leaders, architects, developers, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT. This is a highly customer-facing role where deep technical fluency, commercial instinct, and clear communication drive adoption and influence product direction.
What you'll do
Partner with AEs to own technical discovery, demos, POCs, and expansion with technical validation
Build trusted relationships across engineering, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT
Go deep in research-heavy and regulated environments: developer workflows, AI tooling, complex setups

We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
About the role
Forward Deployed Engineers embed directly with customer engineering teams to ship production-grade Cursor workflows that measurably improve how they build software.
You’ll figure out what’s actually slowing a team down, design a practical solution, and own it end-to-end, from first discovery call through launch, iteration, and post-production support. This is not a demo role. You are responsible for systems that work in the real world.
What you’ll do
Lead discovery with customer engineers to identify the real bottleneck and define clear success metrics
Design and build Cursor-powered workflows (e.g., large-scale refactors, migrations, PR review loops, incident → fix pipelines, spec → implementation systems)
Ship a fast first version in days, then harden it into something reliable over weeks with proper rollout plans, monitoring, and iteration based on real usage
Own production quality: tracing, evals, metrics, debugging model behavior, latency/cost tradeoffs, and failure modes
Work directly with Staff+/Platform/Eng leaders — going deep in code while also communicating clearly about tradeoffs and results
Turn what you build into reusable patterns and push improvements back into the core Cursor product
You may be a fit if
You thrive in ambiguity and can turn fuzzy problems into clear scopes and shipped systems.
You’ve built and owned AI-native workflows in production, not just prototypes, and have debugged real-world model failures
You’re comfortable leading discovery conversations and being accountable for customer outcomes
You build end-to-end. If it needs frontend, backend, infra, or prompt iteration, you’ll own it
You’ve handled production reliability before (metrics, alerts, safe rollouts, incident response)
You’re strong in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript and can ramp quickly on new stacks

Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
About the role
We’re hiring a Support Operations Systems Lead to help own the systems, workflows, and operating rhythms that keep User Operations running reliably at scale.
This is a hands-on technical support operations role for someone who can move fluidly between live triage of our projects, backlog management of internal requests, systems health, stakeholder communication, and end-to-end program ownership. You’ll work across ticketing workflows, routing logic, queue health, labeling taxonomy, escalation paths, workforce signals, and internal tooling requests.
The ideal person is more technical than a traditional operations lead, more hands-on than a traditional TPM, and less software-engineering-heavy than a dedicated SWE. You should be comfortable investigating messy operational issues, making or coordinating safe system changes, pushing back on unclear requests, and turning recurring problems into durable improvements.
What you’ll do
Own day-to-day operations for core support systems, including ticketing workflows, routing, queues, labels, taxonomy, escalations, and related tooling.
Triage urgent operational issues as they arise, especially when system behavior, workforce distribution, queue health, or SLA risk looks off.
Manage intake, prioritization, and follow-through for systems requests from support managers, TSEs, operations leads, engineering, product, and other internal teams.
Help maintain the team’s roadmap by distinguishing one-off fixes from broader system improvements, surfacing recurring pain points, and pushing back on low-leverage work.
Drive smaller technical and operational programs end-to-end, being responsible for discovery, scoping and execution, rollout, documentation and success metrics.
Partner with engineering, data, IT, and support leaders to debug issues, validate changes, improve monitoring, and prevent repeat failures.
Use Cursor and AI-native workflows to reduce manual toil, investigate issues, summarize signals, draft documentation, test changes, and improve how the team operates.
You may be a fit if
You have experience in support operations, systems operations, technical program management, or a similarly cross-functional technical systems role.
You are comfortable working close to operational systems such as ticketing platforms, routing workflows, queue configuration, labels/taxonomies, dashboards, Slack workflows, and internal tools.
You are technical enough to investigate system issues, read configuration or code, and partner effectively with engineers, even if you are not primarily a software engineer.
You are excellent at triage and prioritization: when several things are broken or ambiguous, you can quickly determine what is urgent, what needs investigation, what needs escalation, and what should become a longer-term fix.
You can own work end to end: clarify the problem, align stakeholders, sequence the work, communicate tradeoffs, launch safely, and measure whether the change worked.
You are comfortable pushing back thoughtfully and can tell stakeholders “not yet,” “not this way,” or “this should be part of a broader fix” while maintaining trust.
You are energized by a role that blends firefighting with systems-building, and you have a strong bias toward action, clarity, and continuous improvement.

About the Role
We're hiring a Software Engineer for our User Operations team to own and build our product quality infrastructure and tooling — the systems that capture, triage, route, and acts on customer and product feedback at scale. You'll work on everything from intelligent bug reporting pipelines to software that captures customer feedback at scale to systems that give our business real-time visibility into our strongest Voice of the Customer signals.
This is an internal-facing role with direct impact on product quality. You'll be building the systems that close the loop between what customers experience and what gets built — helping us catch problems before our users do, and ensuring the right signal reaches the right people, fast. If building an AI-native, first-of-its-kind Voice of the Customer program from the ground up excites you, this role is for you.
What you'll do
Develop AI-powered systems that synthesize customer signal at scale — separating noise from what matters, routing feedback to the right teams, and surfacing the voice of the customer in ways that actually shape product decisions.
Build dashboards and data pipelines that give engineering and product leaders real-time visibility into bug volume, quality trends, and where their domains stand — by product area, severity, and over time.
Build intelligent bug intake and triage systems — moving from manual, inconsistent prioritization to agentic pipelines that produce well-written, well-prioritized bug reports at scale.
Build integrations across our tooling ecosystem (ticketing systems, payment processes, CRM, data warehouse, etc.) to create seamless workflows.
Partner with domain specialists and support engineers to identify pain points and ship solutions quickly — you're building for an internal team that will tell you exactly what's broken.
You may be a fit if
Experience working cross-functionally to deliver highly impactful, technical projects and systems
Experience building internal tools, developer platforms, or operations infrastructure.
Strong full-stack engineering skills — you're comfortable owning projects from database to UI.
Experience with data pipelines, ETL processes, and analytics tooling.
Deep product knowledge of Cursor and AI-assisted development workflows.
Experience integrating with third-party platforms (ticketing systems, payment processors, CRMs).
Strong sense of ownership and a bias for action — you ship fast and iterate based on feedback.
Self-starter with curiosity, creativity, and a distaste for manual toil.

About the role
We're hiring a Software Engineer, Billing to evolve the systems that power how Cursor charges and reconciles revenue across millions of developers and enterprise teams.
You will work across the billing stack — usage metering pipelines, subscription and entitlement systems, payment integrations, and the ledger layer — to make billing accurate, scalable, and transparent. This is a deeply technical IC role. It is not a finance ops role, and it is not a backend generalist role wearing a billing hat.
What you’ll do
Implement usage and billing systems changes end-to-end, from updates in the UI and raw usage events at the edge to invoiced amounts in Stripe, including the metering pipeline, aggregation logic, entitlement enforcement, and ledger.
Evolve our ledger system that serves as the source of truth for customer balances, credits, overages, and adjustments — with the correctness guarantees that financial systems require.
Integrate deeply with Stripe including subscriptions, usage records, invoices, webhooks, and edge cases like mid-cycle plan changes, prorations, and failed payment recovery.
Build billing APIs and internal tooling that product, finance, and customer success teams depend on to query customer state, issue credits, and investigate billing anomalies.
Improve observability across the billing pipeline — metering lag, reconciliation discrepancies, invoice accuracy — so the team can quickly detect and debug billing regressions.
Partner with product, infrastructure, and finance teams to ship new pricing models with confidence and minimal operational risk.
You will own usage & limits across the product family, payments (stripe + daily jobs), grants & promotions, ledger, and internal data insights. You will be a technical authority on billing correctness and scale.
You will not own tax compliance, or general finance infrastructure unless it intersects directly with the billing system.
You will not be a backend generalist who contributes to billing occasionally. This is the core of your scope.
Revenue accuracy is part of the job, but the goal is to build systems with enough correctness and observability that billing is boring — not to manually reconcile every edge case.
You may be a fit if
You’ve shipped a usage-based billing system in production and have opinions on metering architecture, idempotency, and exactly-once semantics.
You’ve integrated deeply with Stripe, understand its data model, and have dealt with erroring webhooks.
You’ve built or maintained a financial ledger and understand why it’s required.
You care about correctness and making sure customer’s don’t have to manually review their invoices.
You can hold the tension between "move fast" and "do not lose revenue or trust."
You feel comfortable shipping features end-to-end - scaling up infrastructure to tweaking a UI component.

Perplexity is seeking its first Sales Enablement hire to build the function for our Enterprise, Commercial, and BDR teams. Our sales org is growing quickly and selling a product that evolves almost every week to buyers who range from IT and security to legal, research, and the C-suite. This role owns how sellers ramp, how they tell the Perplexity story, and how they get better every quarter.
This is an individual contributor role reporting into Sales leadership. It is hands-on: you will set the strategy and also write the onboarding curriculum, record the demo, build the battlecard, and run the Friday call review. You will partner closely with Sales leadership, AI Strategists, Product, Product Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Strategic Finance.
What you'll do
Onboarding and ramp
Design and run a repeatable onboarding program for new BDRs, Commercial AEs, and Enterprise AEs, with a defined bar for what "ramped" means at each role and clear ramp-time targets
Own the first 30/60/90 for every new seller, including product certification, pitch and demo certification, tooling proficiency, and territory readiness
Build in feedback loops so every cohort improves the next one
Messaging, pitch, and demo
Codify the Perplexity Enterprise, Commercial, and API pitch into a single, current, opinionated narrative that every seller can deliver the same way
Build and maintain the standard demo flow for each product surface (Enterprise Pro, Computer, API) and keep it current as the product ships
Partner with Product Marketing on positioning, use cases, buyer personas, and vertical narratives (Financial Services, Legal, Healthcare, Consulting, and others as they emerge)
Ongoing enablement and coaching
Run a regular enablement cadence (weekly rep-facing sessions, monthly deep dives, quarterly kickoffs) driven by what the field actually needs
Build a live call-review and coaching program with Sales leadership, using recorded calls to reinforce what good looks like and surface where reps are getting stuck
Own the enablement content library — playbooks, talk tracks, discovery questions, objection handles, competitive battlecards, ROI framing — and keep it usable, current, and findable
Product-to-field translation
Sit close to Product to translate each release into "what this means for the field": what to say, who to say it to, when to bring it up, and what proof to lean on
Build a launch process that turns product updates into field readiness quickly and consistently
Sales methodology and skill development
Partner with Sales leadership to select and operationalize the qualification and deal-management framework that fits Perplexity's motion — training, reinforcement, coaching, and inspection
Build role-specific skill programs (discovery, multi-threading, negotiation, executive presence, technical selling to IT and security buyers)
Measurement and iteration
Define what enablement is accountable for: ramp time to first deal, pitch and demo certification pass rates, win rate on contested deals, content adoption, and manager coaching consistency
Report against those metrics and kill programs that do not move them
What we're looking for
6+ years in sales enablement, sales training, sales operations, or a quota-carrying / sales-adjacent role at a B2B software company, with clear ownership of a program you built end to end
A track record of building or scaling enablement from zero or near-zero — you have been the first or second enablement hire before, or you have owned a function that ran like one
Strong instincts for sales messaging and translating a complex, fast-moving technical product into a story that sellers can tell and buyers can act on
Fluency running coaching and call reviews with sellers and Sales leadership — you can spot what a rep needs from listening to five minutes of a call
Ability to work cross-functionally with Sales leadership, Product, Product Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Strategic Finance
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
Willingness to be in the San Francisco or New York office four days per week
Nice to have
Experience at a Series B–D company selling a fast-changing product to a mix of technical and business buyers
Background enabling both direct sales and a self-serve to enterprise motion
Experience selling or enabling into AI, developer tools, search, or enterprise infrastructure
Familiarity with modern enablement and revenue tooling (CRM, LMS, conversation intelligence, content management)
Previous time as an AE, SDR, or SC before moving into enablement

Perplexity is looking for a dynamic and innovative contributor to join our team to help advance the business, improve the products we’re building, and revolutionize the way people search and interact with the internet. This unique role offers significant responsibility to apply and strengthen your technical background and combine your legal experience, and offers growth potential in other areas of an in-house practice group.
About the Opportunity
We seek a technical lead to join our legal operations team to drive infrastructure development across our legal and operations team and support our ambitious growth trajectory within our rapidly growing AI technology company. This unique role will report to the Legal Operations Manager and partner with the General Counsel and VP, Operations on strategic planning, architecting, delivering, and transforming high-volume legal workflows into scalable, automated systems. We're seeking a sharp, innovative technical operations professional with strong business judgment, practical problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of high-growth startup environments. Ideally, this person also brings legal expertise alongside technical know-how. You’ll build scalable processes and establish foundational systems that will scale with our growth. Success requires someone who is inquisitive, has entrepreneurial drive, and the agility to thrive in our fast-paced environment while shaping our non-technical orgs from the ground up at a cutting-edge AI technology company.
About the Role
Responsibilities
Architect and build Perplexity's Legal and Operations Engineering platform — a coherent stack of agents, workflows, and evaluation infrastructure that replaces manual, high-volume legal work across commercial contracting, e-discovery, enterprise redlining, subsidiary governance, vendor onboarding, and litigation and matter management.
Own the enterprise contracting automation system end-to-end.
Ship the in-product legal surfaces built on Perplexity and Computer itself
Consolidate today's ad-hoc legal bots, prompts, and scripts into a documented, observable, and reusable platform with clear conventions for personas, tools, evals, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
Serve as the technical partner to the General Counsel. Translate complex, judgment-heavy legal workflows into engineered systems, and translate engineering constraints back to non-technical stakeholders.
Evaluate, retire, or replace third-party tools where a purpose-built internal system gives us a structural advantage.
Be the case study for forward-deployed engineering in non-engineering functions at Perplexity. Success here becomes the playbook for Legal, Recruiting, People, Workplace, and Operations.
What You’ll Bring
3+ years of backend software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems at meaningful scale.
A working knowledge of legal concepts, with some experience in legal operations or paralegal work is desired.
Strong business judgment and practical problem-solving; comfortable making operational calls with incomplete information and calibrating risk in real time.
Track record building scalable processes and foundational systems from scratch, not maintaining a mature function.
Fluency with modern legal tech and AI tools; disciplined human-in-the-loop practices.
Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to work directly with senior legal, finance, and executive stakeholders.
Entrepreneurial drive, intellectual curiosity, and agility to thrive in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment.
Preferred Experience
Prior experience at an AI-native, SaaS, or consumer technology company operating at Perplexity’s pace.
Familiarity with e-billing platforms (e.g., Brightflag), matter management, CLM, and entity management systems.
Comfort with ambiguity, rapid context-switching, and a builder mentality.

In 2026, we launched Computer, the defining product for the new era of agentic AI. Millions of people now use Perplexity to transform knowledge into action, and a growing share of them meet us first on their phone. The Growth team owns the product loops that help people discover, adopt, and build lasting habits around our most important AI experiences — and on mobile that means owning everything from the App Store listing to the first task a user finishes to the moment they upgrade.
As an Android growth engineer at Perplexity, you'll work across the full mobile funnel — install, activation, onboarding, push and lifecycle messaging, conversion, retention, and in-app purchase moments — for Perplexity, Comet, and Computer on Android. Engineers are responsible for end-to-end projects: rebuilding onboarding as a series of experiments, wiring in-app purchase and paywall surfaces to our billing systems, shipping notification experiences people actually keep enabled, and turning ASO and deep-link work into measurable adoption.
Growth at Perplexity goes beyond incremental funnel optimization. The team sits close to the core product — we translate behavioral signals, model outputs, and fast experimentation into durable product surfaces used across consumer and enterprise workflows. You'll move fast, run many experiments in parallel, and own the outcome end-to-end, while respecting the constraints mobile brings: release cycles, store review, and version fragmentation.
Why Perplexity is different
Craftsmanship. We build high quality, tasteful products targeting both the AI native and AI curious.
Ownership. You identify the problem, design the solution and ship it.
Entrepreneurship. We think like founders, act with urgency, and hustle to deliver for each other and our users.
Scholarship. Work among highly talented peers, pursuing knowledge and truth, upleveling ourselves, our teams, and our products.
Partnership. We amplify each others' strengths, break down silos, and give selflessly to help our colleagues deliver excellence.
What you'll do
Design, build, and own growth surfaces across the mobile funnel — install, activation, onboarding, lifecycle, conversion, retention, and paid upgrade moments — on Android.
Lead experiments end-to-end, from hypothesis and instrumentation through implementation, analysis, and rollout, shipping many in parallel despite app release cadence. Build the flag-driven and server-driven patterns that let us test without waiting on a store release.
Own in-app purchase and paywall surfaces: billing integrations, subscription and credit purchase flows, entitlement correctness, and pricing and packaging experiments.
Build push and lifecycle notification experiences that earn their opt-in — permission prompts, targeting, timing, deep links back into the right task, and the instrumentation to prove they drive retention rather than churn.
Make cross-platform surfaces feel native. Partner with web and design engineers so onboarding, upsells, and in-task nudges are consistent across web, iOS, and Android
Partner with rest of Growth to optimize app store performance and attribution
Hill-climb on the metrics that matter: install-to-activation, D1/D7/D30 retention, notification opt-in and engagement, paid conversion, and habit formation, instrumented with clean data and trustworthy experiment readouts.
Partner closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Monetization, Marketing, and the core Mobile team to translate behavioral signals into durable product surfaces.
Qualifications
3+ years of professional mobile engineering experience shipping consumer apps at meaningful scale on Android.
Strong native skills — Kotlin/Jetpack Compose — and the willingness to flex into other parts of the stack to unblock yourself and others.
Experience owning a full release cycle: build and release tooling, phased rollouts, store review, crash and regression monitoring, and rolling back safely.
Strong execution: you ship many experiments and product improvements in parallel and drive them to a clear outcome.
Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely, or in-house equivalents) especially inside a versioned app.
Comfort data-informed decision-making — you can pull, segment, and interpret your own funnel data.
Strong product judgment; you translate user behavior and growth opportunities into simple, effective technical solutions.
Self-motivated with strong ownership instincts; you propose experiments, ship features ahead of schedule, and drive improvements without asking for permission.
Genuine interest and adoption of AI products and willingness to learn quickly.
Nice to have
Direct experience on a growth or experimentation-heavy team
Deep experience with in-app payments
Experience with mobile attribution and measurement stacks (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) and paid mobile acquisition.
ASO experience, including store listing experiments and localized metadata.
Comfort reaching into the backend or web stack to unblock yourself end-to-end.
Time spent at a fast-growing startup or on a high-ownership engineering team.

Define and run the contribution model and governance: review and shepherd inbound contributions from product feature teams, keeping quality and consistency high as the system grows
Keep design and engineering in sync, bridging Figma and code so the system stays coherent end-to-end
Own clear, first-class documentation so teams can adopt components and tokens on their own, and drive adoption across the org through onboarding, office hours, and hands-on support
Bake in accessibility (WCAG) and theming (including dark mode) as defaults, not afterthoughts
Maintain a system roadmap, balancing net-new work, migrations, and deprecations against feature-team needs
Bring new AI tooling into the design systems workflow and help shape how we build systems in an AI-native way
Operate with autonomy in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
What we're looking for
Extensive experience owning design systems at large organizations
A true 50/50 design-engineer, equally credible in visual craft and in code
An impeccable eye for visual design
Deep understanding of the nuanced differences between mobile, web, and React UI best practices
Strong product sensibilities to help evaluate and integrate contributions from various product feature teams
Fluency in Figma, but primarily living in GitHub where you own the repo
Experience designing and maintaining semantic design tokens and scalable component APIs
A track record of driving adoption through excellent documentation and cross-functional partnership
Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and how to build them into a system
Readiness to work with new AI tooling and genuine comfort with ambiguity
Nice to have
Experience building a semantic token system from scratch across multiple platforms
